Identify the correct sentence/s. (a) Each of the boys have finished his work. (b) Many a men was killed in the war. (c) Neither of the three is present here. Answer Options :
अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (3) Only (c)
Subject-Verb Agreement व व्याकरण विश्लेषण:
1.
विधान (a): "Each of the boys have finished his work."
•
हे विधान चुकीचे आहे. 'Each' हा अनिश्चित सर्वनाम नेहमी एकवचनी असतो, त्यामुळे त्याच्यासोबत एकवचनी सहाय्यकारी क्रियापद 'has' हवे (*Each of the boys has finished his work*).
2.
विधान (b): "Many a men was killed in the war."
•
हे विधान चुकीचे आहे. 'Many a' नंतर नेहमी एकवचनी नाम आणि एकवचनी क्रियापद येते: 'Many a man was killed...' ('men' हे अनेकवचन चुकीचे आहे).
3.
विधान (c): "Neither of the three is present here."
•
आयोगाच्या उत्तरतालिकेनुसार हे विधान योग्य मानले आहे, कारण 'is' हे एकवचनी क्रियापद अचूक वापरले आहे. (जरी पारंपरिक व्याकरणात दोघांसाठी neither आणि दोहोंपेक्षा अधिकसाठी none वापरतात, तरी एकवचनी क्रियापदाच्या योग्य वापरामुळे आयोगाने केवळ (c) ला अचूक मानले आहे).
4.
त्यामुळे पर्याय 'Only (c)' (पर्याय 3) हे योग्य उत्तर आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (3) Only (c)
Subject-Verb Agreement and Syntax Analysis:
1.
Sentence (a): *"Each of the boys have finished his work."*
•
Incorrect. 'Each' is grammatically singular and requires a singular verb (*has*, not *have*).
2.
Sentence (b): *"Many a men was killed in the war."*
•
Incorrect. The distributive structure *Many a* strictly requires a singular count noun (*man*, not *men*): *Many a man was killed...*
3.
Sentence (c): *"Neither of the three is present here."*
•
Correctly observes singular verbal agreement (*is*). Following official MPSC evaluation, sentence (c) is accepted as correct.
4.
Hence, Only (c) (Option 3) is the designated answer.
